I believe in the power of emergence.

  • I believe in the power of emergence.
    • That is, that emergence exists, and that it's an important, powerful force.
    • Emergence means "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts".
      • Because the way the parts relate matters, not just the parts itself.
      • Ursus Wehrli's images that tidy the components of complex things show that emergence is real, and objects are more than just the sum of their parts.
    • That, more than being a "systems" guy, is what differentiates Radagasts from Sarumans.
    • To be clear, emergence is not just a thing I believe in, it is also obviously, incontrovertibly true.
    • It's just something that Sarumans don't pay much attention to, or is invisible to them.
